Is 'privacy above all' even possible? And who
needs it anyway?
Since Americans believe that they live in a free country, their
lives are an open book. Everybody and anybody who wants to know can find out
all about us. We don't seem to mind until it is too late.
But it is past time that we stop being so "free" to answer
all inquiries that come at us. This resolve is especially applicable in matters
of disclosure about our personal finances and assets. One piece of information
at a time, over a long period, can mean your privacy and even identity are
gone.
What you do or own is your business except when you tell it, then
the world knows. The world is not nice and hides this fact as you should be
hiding your details from it. Thieves don't always break in at night or rob you
at gunpoint. The government is the worst of these thieves because it is
deceptive and ever greedy.
Be sure that you understand that the government thinks that you
and your property are its business and definitely a source of
"income" (as if the government should be earning income). Often those
in power think they are entitled to what you have. Bureaucrats don't like the
word privacy. Can you guess why? Information on citizens is absolutely
essential to governments. The business of government is information on its
citizens. Read this over and over. You must understand the implications.
Low-profile living should be your rule. You already know not to
drive a Mercedes on a Chevrolet income, and I don't mean the implications of
being in great debt. The IRS sometimes computes a "net worth"
assessment of taxes if they think your standard of living (i.e., what you
display) is greater than your income.
Don't disclose any more than you need to, ever. All government
agencies are tied directly to the IRS. Because taxes are not for
"government revenue" or so that you and everyone "pay their fair
share" or any other nonsense designed to obscure the truth. The truth is
that the IRS is another enforcement arm of the government designed to reduce
the number of dollars in circulation so that government can continue its deficit
spending.
If you think that you are ready for the world of reality,
order The Great Money Myth package by clicking here right
now. It
explains the conspiracy behind ALL government money printing, finance,
taxation... and what the dollars in your pocket are really worth.
You must also know that although cash is private, the government
is trying to do away with cash so that you and your income and spending can be
tracked precisely. The "digital dollar" is the current name for it,
but whatever they call a new digital currency, it will not have been created
for your convenience I can assure you.
Credit cards are convenient, and you are offered endless
"rewards" to use them. Banks especially love to speak of debt
equaling money, and they encourage you to "spend" on your cards (even
though you're borrowing). Then, information about your credit is scattered
around the world with total disregard for your privacy. Many people receive
several solicitations a week to apply for a new credit card. How do you think
the credit card company discovered you might be a good prospect for a new
credit card?
Checks are not much better, although there is a loophole I will
tell you about in a minute. Always watch carefully what you put in writing. You
can be hung by the tongue or the pen. On the other hand, insist that everybody
else put their "thing" in writing.
When you want to do a transaction and keep it private and out of
bank records, consider doing it in cash despite how inconvenient the government
wants to make it. Also consider bartering or trade of goods and services, with
no record except your handshake. The reason? Governments don't like cash. They
are suspicious of cash transactions. Their excuse is the drug trade. What they
really want is to control you. So as long as what you are doing is not illegal,
you can still do small, private cash transactions and not violate any Treasury
reporting rules.
Pay with a check that you received as a paycheck or any other kind
of check. In other words, when you get a check from somebody, simply pay it to
someone else. Turn it into a third-party, negotiable instrument. A check
becomes negotiable just like cash when you endorse it. Just write under your
endorsement your instructions, such as "pay to XYZ." This instrument
is a private transaction, as it doesn't go through your bank. It becomes
"lost" in the system. This process is legal.
If the amount of the check doesn't match the amount that you want
to pay, simply ask them to give you cash or their own check for the difference.
This negotiation is called "recycling checks," and it is a form of
"private" money. This is also a legal procedure.
You do not have to have canceled checks for the IRS, or anyone
else, although this is what they want. A receipt will do. If they ask, for example, how you
paid for a $2,000 overhaul on your automobile, tell them you paid with your
endorsed, third-party paycheck, social security check or a loan.
Think privacy! Live privacy!
There are many things you can still do that are legal to avoid
compromising your privacy. If you are not involved in a
"tax-deductible" transaction, then what you do is "off the
record."
Although the lack of privacy in America is a very scary situation,
to say the least, you can do something more about it. There is no such thing as
freedom without privacy. There is no such thing as privacy unless you use your
freedom to make it happen. Privacy and freedom are inseparable concepts. We
live in an information society. It follows that we have no freedom left if we
do not restrict, impede and stop creating that information by freely giving out
information.
"Our" congress has legislated our privacy away. They
have thus legislated our freedom away. If you are to have any privacy, it will
be up to you and you alone. Admittedly, being private is not convenient or
easy.
• Try your best to keep your records private. If you must
show a document to your lawyer or accountant, you go personally with the papers
and return with the papers.
• Stay away from lawyers, accountants, and
courts as much as possible. If you can settle out of court, try to do so every
time, whether as a plaintiff or defendant. Use private or even public
arbitration services and arbitration judges instead.
• Get prepared forms and do your own legal work.
Most lawyers have their secretaries fill out these forms anyway and charge for
"professional" legal work.
As long as most people don't feel any direct threat, they relax
and let the system run their lives. But if something happens, such as a lawsuit
or a serious IRS field audit or even a criminal investigation, your life can
become a nightmare overnight. In this way, the government destroys people and
families one by one, like sitting ducks. It can strip you of everything you
have ever worked for and own. It is true that everything that you say or
otherwise reveal about yourself can and will be used against you. Learn
low-profile living!
Yours for the truth,

NOTED:
We face a choice between slavery and freedom
The fight for the future of humanity is under way now in the
financial sector, where centralized, authoritarian banking systems (central
banks, fiat currency, money printing, etc.) are attempting total domination
while Decentralized Finance (DeFi, peer-to-peer money) is offering humanity a
future of freedom and self-determination.
In
today's podcast, I cover the details of how this battle is shaping up and why
the fiat currency banking system is so desperate to assert total control over
society.

15 Most Popular Survival Foods
Stockpiling enough food to keep you and your family alive for a
long time can be very challenging. Think about it: However much you spend on
your weekly shopping trip is how much a week's worth of emergency food could
cost. And that's just one week.
There's a reason certain foods have remained so popular among
preppers and survivalists. Rice and beans, for example. They have a long
shelf-life, they're filling, and they're good for you. These foods will always
make the cut, while others are best reserved for softer times. (Sorry, salad
lovers.)
In this article, we're going to take a look at the fifteen most
popular survival foods and talk about why they're so popular. If you're
preparing for a disaster, consider getting every one of these...

Cheap Stain Removal for All Around the House
Cheap
Stain Removal for All Around the House
A
professional carpet cleaner gave me this advice. The absolute best stain
remover for carpets is Dawn liquid soap diluted in the hottest water you can
handle. I've also found that Dawn is excellent for getting out stains on
clothing, including hard-to-remove grease stains.
Don't
waste your money on separate stain removers for each item in your house!

Stain Removal Tips for Prolonging the Life of Your
100 Survival Items You Forgot To Buy
If you're reading this, you probably already know the basics:
water, food storage, first aid, etc. But even hardcore survivalists can
overlook items that could be important. In this post, I'm going to list 100
survival items you might have forgotten to buy.
Originally, this was a list of 50 survival items, but since
then, I've gotten all sorts of comments and messages from people telling me
about other things preppers often forget. Once I had 50 more, I added them to
the list. Now there's a total of 100.
To be clear, this isn't meant to be a comprehensive list of
every survival item you'll need. It's just a list of the ones that are often
overlooked. Hopefully, it will help you fill in any gaps in your survival plan.
For everything on this list that you already have, give yourself a pat on the
back...

The un-Patriot Act killed the Privacy Act of 1974 & with it, all traces of privacy in America. Everyone thinks they're entitled to your SSN [my SS card reads 'Not to be used for ID purposes' but hey, since when can you trust the gov't to keep its word?
Insightful-apparently others don't give a damn [it's why they remain stupid]
Our decline seems to be accelerating, conforming to the mathematic model of logarithmic decay; it’s similar to how Hemingway described going bankrupt in The Sun Also Rises: “gradually, then suddenly.”
And we can see it just about everywhere.
From a fiscal perspective, the US is a complete train wreck. The national debt is about to pass $32 trillion as I write this, equivalent to roughly 122% of GDP-- a record high.
Snowden did heroic service in awakening Americans to Washington ravishing their privacy. Snowden’s “reward” is to be banished in Russia without a snowball’s chance in hell of a fair trial if he returns to America. But as he courageously declared, “I would rather be without a state than without a voice.” He explained why he leaked classified information: “I can’t in good conscience allow the U.S. government to destroy privacy, internet freedom and basic liberties for people around the world with this massive surveillance machine they’re secretly building.”
